K3 Firmware bug w/K144XV

[Bruce Beford-2]

K3 s/n running v4.03 f/w
KRX3 installed
K144XV installed

Have entered a local repeater freq/offset/pl tone into VFO A
Output/K3 RX: 147.285, positive offset (147.885 Tx) pl 103.5

Have another local repeater output freq on VFO B: 146.760

Can hear both repeaters fine.

Once I TX on VFO to use the first repeater (Txing on 147.885), the Sub RX
readout changes to 147.760. (The MHz digits go to the same as VFO A.)
However, if I use an HT to open the second repeater (146.760 output), The K3
can still hear it, even though the display says 1 MHz higher. So, it looks
like a display shift, rather than actual operating frequency. This behavior
is the same whether VFO IND is Yes or No.

I understand that the K144XV uses different LO crystals for 144-146 vs.
146-148, and simultaneous monitoring of 2 freqs in separate segments would
not be allowed. However, these two repeaters are both in the upper segment,
and the firmware should allow this.

Can anyone else replicate this behavior?

An additional detail of the firmware strangeness when using the K3 on 2M
with the K144XV:
When tuning VFO B, I will not increment to the next MHz. It wraps around
within the same 1 MHz segment.
